better black: black tied or carbon?

[javachip]

i love carbon, especially for the crease and outer V. if i want to add some sparkle i can add a little bit of your ladyship or something similar on top.

Carbon. I don't like a lot of glitter unless I'm blending two and two together.
I've never tried blending with glitter though. I might try it!

Carbon. i use it for almost all my smokey eye looks.
Blact tied is nice too. but i definitely use carbon more.

Black Tied Is Gorgeous.

I'm sorry if this has already asked but which do you prefer:
Black Black(pro) Pigment or Carbon Eyeshadow?

I bought carbon because I was afraid of the large sparkles in black tied. I regret it because I have found a lot of eyeshadows that are the exact same as carbon and none of black tied. Black tied also looks a lot prettier in the palette.

i like black tied better to used with a smokey eye or a more intense black, but carbon is definitely better to use in the crease.

Defo carbon!

carbon

best smokey eye ever.

Carbon

Those glitter throws off my non-glitter smokey eye lolz I like a matte finish for my smokey eyes

Carbon all the way.. you can always add any glitters after if you feel like it. Much more black.

I would truly go for BOTH!

It's literally like having the BEST of both worlds.

However, I must say I lean more towards Carbon.

When I purchased Carbon I was quite skeptically...AT FIRST -- but like the many that previously posted -- it's versatile and can be used to tone down bright colors without sacrificing the color itself.

I use it almost EVERYDAY.

BLACK TIED

I was really considering getting Black tied but wasn't sure since I already did have carbon. But now i WILL!

 

[highonmac]

Btw, I think you should get both since black tied has more shimmer. You can really up a look with some shimmer. Since carbon is just a flat black theres nothing really exciting about it

i can never get my black tied to come out BLACK, it always looks gray

I love black tied, I'm used to carbon only because its preferred in photoshoots a matte black. But I mix my black tied with mixing medium for a great eyeliner trick. I love the added sparkle!

 

[jh4200]

I like carbon - just find it more versatile. Great matte, and I can add a touch of a shimmery shadow if that's what I'm looking for at a given time.

 

[vivaluxri]

okay, i know this isn't your question, but i really like venus; it's the perfect mix between matte carbon and glitter black tied. i find it to be more versatile.
